Yours Mine and Ours

Baby Thomas has arrived!

Late Thursday morning, 7/16, I started having contractions and knew it wouldn’t be too much longer before we had our precious angel. I had been working at home all week because I had a feeling I’d be going into labor anytime. Michael was in the office and was anxious to come home, but I told him it would be a while and to finish the day.

Aiden and Michael came home and we packed our bags – ours for the hospital and his for grandma’s house. We watched a movie together then I took him over to grandma’s house. By 8:00pm contractions were every 15 minutes apart and stayed that way until Midnight. At 12:30am I called the mid-wife to let her know I was in labor and headed to the hospital.



We arrived at the hospital at 1am and I was dilated to 3.5 cm and about 80% effaced. They kept me in observation for 2 hours but I only changed a half centimeter so they sent me home. By the time we got to the free way labor had intensified to say the least so we headed back to the hospital. We arrived back at the hospital and my contractions were less than 1 min apart and as long as 3 min.
The anesthesiologist was tied up in a c-section and the baby was coming fast so I ended up delivering Al-natural and everyone in the hospital new it! At 6:18am our darling baby was born. He was 7lbs 1 oz and 18.5 inches long and absolutely gorgeous!



When they handed me my beautiful boy he peed all over me and the nurses! My first thoughts were that he was very purple! I was hyperventilating during labor which caused a shortage of oxygen to the baby (I’ll have to take a Lamaze class for the next one!). I also noticed he had a beautiful head of hair and that his fingernails were very long! We are very happy to have this new addition to our family.
